…But would we HAVE those robot missions without the manned missions? PR, you know. …Gosh, I think we’d have a lot MORE of them. I once read that for manned flight, the equipment needed to be 99%+ safe — which,…   Read more»

PS: I also admire Your flights. I have only seen them on DVD, butthey have a huge impact.Your involvement with Your family is a welcome sight.You would help Rocketry by advancing in the sport.

It took me two attempts for my Level 1.No one had a problem with that.All flights in Rocketry are learning experiences.

Geof, the kind of gliders… we’re always glad to see you out at the field and we’re always glad to help you out.Warren

Geof,That’s an awesome looking rocket and a great build thread. I looks like several hours went into that one. I can’t wait to see it in person.I’ll echo what Joe said…. go ahead and get the L1 with this bird…   Read more»

I’ll volunteer to help and quite honestly, if it’s built to take an H ride, why not go ahead and certify. I can help with that aspect as well. You’ll need to be a NAR or TRA member to fly…   Read more»

Oh yah, finally I get to say it; “respect my authoritiii!”
